Frustrated South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber rued missed opportunities and handling errors for costing them their Rugby Championship match against Australia, but said lessons had been learned for the second Test next weekend. | Sport24news
After conceding a try in the opening minute, the world champion Springboks dominated possession in the first half at Adelaide Oval on Saturday, but despite intense pressure, failed to make it count and trailed 10-3 at the break.
"It was frustrating how many opportunities we created but didn't convert into points," he said."It is something that has happened in our last few games, so we will work hard to correct that. "We will have a good review of the game, take the lessons learned, and ensure that we are up for next week's clash in Sydney," added Nienaber.
In contrast, it was one of the Wallabies' best performances this year, with a mighty defensive effort and well-worked attacking set-pieces earning them the win.
